In Mernorlam.

In response to a call for q me-
mortal meeting by the Rev. R. S.
McAllister, Pastor of the Liberty
Presbyterian Church, the members
of the different denominational
Churches assembled at the Pre8by-
terian Church on the evening Of the
Sth day of May, A. D. 1887.
F. w, Stratton was, on motion,
called to the Chair, and N. S. Nc
Lean requested to act as Secretary.
Col. J. R. Galtney then offered
the following preamble and reso-
lutions, which were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, In the dispensation of
a mysterious providence, it has
pleased an All-wise God to remove
from the scenes of his earthly
labors, in the prime Of a useful life,
Rev. j. W, Hoyt, D. D., the dis
tinguished Evangelist, whose re-
cent labors in this town and vicini-
ty were crowned with such gratify-
ing success;
And Whereas, DR.. Hoyt was en-
dowed with gifts of mind and heart
which made him an acceptable
minister Of the Word and success
full laborer in the cause Of Christ
possessing the faculty of presenting
the great truths Of the Gospel in
their simplicity and power and with
convincing effect upon his hear
ers--confrming the faithful, reas-
suring the doubling and winning
the unconverted to the faith and
hope of the gospel; therefore,
Resolved, That in the death Of
DR.. Hoyt, the cause of religion lost
an eloquent and earnest advocate,
a Jealous and faithful laborer and
a successful minister of the Word
Resolved, Thatthe tidings Of his
death have oppressed the hearts of
the people of this town and vicini-
ty with the burden Of a great sor-
row, which is relieved only by the
memory of the good he has done
in a life devoted to the cause of the
Master; and while deploripg his
death, we yield with meek and
humble submission to the will of
Him, who doeth all things well,
sustained by the unfaltering trust
and comforting hope that our loss
is his eternal gain.
"He rests from his labors: his work is all done,
He sleeps with his fathers till the trump of
Gods Son
Shall summon the just
From the gloom of the dust
To the glory on high.
"His work is all done: but his memory lives
To preach with power the tongue seldom
gives
The sinner to call
From the curse of the fall
To the home in the sky.
"He gave his whole strength to the work next
his heart,
Was found at his post when his Lord said
Depart
And enter the rest
That remains for the blest
In the heavenly home.
"We weep for the lost one, all cold in his
shroud,
Yet know he hath entered the land where
; no cloud
DeulnlS UHe GEAR llSnJ
Through eternity bright
From the stars in his crown"
Resolved, That we tender to the
family of the deceased our heartfelt
sympathy in their great and sudden
bereavement.
Resolved. That a copy of the
foregoing preamble and resolutions
be published in The Southern Her.
aid, and Southwestern Prcsbyte-
rian, also that copy be furnished
to the family Of the deceased, at
Nashville, Tenn.
The Pastor then delivered a fore
ible and feeling memorial sermon,
and the meeting closed with prayer.

South Miss. Fair Association.

Summit Sentinel, 7th: AS will
be seen by the proceedings in
another column of to-day's Senti-
mel, the meeting of the Directors Of
the South Mississippi Fair Associ-
alton, held at the City Hall, Sum-
NIT, last Saturday, important work
was transacted. Eleven hundred
and seven dollars have already
been collected, the result Of the
first call for two-fifths of the sub
scribed stock, and the prompt and
cheerful manner in which it was
paid. in insures the tact that the
Fair is destined to be a monument
al success in all particulars. A
committee has been appointed to
purchase the land from Mr.. J. G..
Covington, half mile west of
town, for the necessary track,
buildings, etc., and 'ere this we
don't doubt but what they have
completed the purchase.
Everythingis moving along fine
ly for the Fair, and at the next
meeting of the Board of Directors
which will be next Saturday, con-
tracts for the clearing of the land,
putting up the buildings, building
the track, will be let out to the low
est and best bidder, and work will
then be commenced at once. Thus
it will be seen that the Fair BOOM
eth like the boomiest boom that
ever struck booming town like
Summit. There will be a special
department set aside for the color
ed people to display their exhibits,
and it is expected they will use
unusual efforts in vieing with eacn
other in regard to the class of ex-
hibits they display.

On last Saturday there was quite
a number Of would-be public
school teachers assembled at the
school house in Liberty, for the
purpose of standing an examina-
tion touching their qualifications to
teach the several grades of schools
provided for under the laws of
Mississippi. We understand they
were confronted with such an array
of questions to be answered by
each one, without assistance from
others that several former teachers
declined the examination and left,
while several of the applicants
fell below the average.
A marital disappointment occur
redin town on last Thursday. The
circumstances were, that a couple
of young people, both under age,
came to town from the north west
ern part Of the county, bent on get
ting married, but, for the want of
proper certificates from their papas
that the Clerk was authorized by
them to issue the necessary docu-
ment, by virtue of which any
Judge, Justice of the Peace or
Minister of the Gospel could make
them one, they had to retire with
out the marriage license. They
went off sadder than they were
when they appeared before our
careful and conscientious clerk of
the Circuit Court demanding the
aforesaid document. Thisis heart
rending case, as it was one of first
love. We hope they may survive
this great shock live long, g,and both
do better next time.

Tho conclusion reached 10y Judge
woodward is that the legal holiday
act OF Pennsylvania zig directory and
not imperative, pGrn.issivo but not
obligatory, and this for two reasons:
F!rOL because the statute contains
negative words, aid secondly, be,
cause j! impoaoa no pauRIty, in both
OF which respects it differs from the
law andthe adjudicationa in reference
